PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jaemond Moreno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ching Chong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chong has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ching Chong was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
